The calculation is performed by the sum of each relative exposure for each equipment according to the following criteria. Where: Seq is the power density of the electromagnetic field at a given distance by a specific transmitter and a defined frequency. Slin is the MPE limit for the frequency being evaluated. 3.3.2 Assumptions 1. SARA U260 Module does not support power reduction for multiple time slots on the uplink. 2. Antenna separation from is ≥ 20cm. 3. Separation distance between co‐located transmitting antennas is 0cm. 4. Hypothetical Bluetooth radio is assumed to have an EIRP of 100mW. 5. Hypothetical WLAN radio is assumed to have an EIRP of 2000mW. 3.3.3 Test Protocol OP mode‐1 MPE Calculation for Primary Transmitter using Maximum antenna gain determined from relative exposure of co‐located transmitters Band Mode Duty Frequency Maximum Maximum Equivalent MPE Limit Max MPE Value Separation Verdict Cycle (MHZ) Conducted Conducted conducted (mW/cm²) antenna using Max distance output output output gain (dBi) gain (cm) power power power (mW/cm²) (dBm)* (mW) (mW) 850 GSM / 50% 848.8 34 2511.89 1256.03 0.5659 1.0 0.3146 20 Pass GPRS 1900 GSM / 50% 1850.2 31 1258.93 629.51 1.0000 2.0 0.1985 20 Pass GPRS FDD 5 W‐ 100% 846.6 31 1258.93 251.19 0.5644 1.0 0.0792 20 Pass CDMA HSDPA 100% 846.6 24 251.19 251.19 0.5644 1.0 0.0792 20 Pass HSUPA 100% 836.6 24 251.19 251.19 0.5577 1.0 0.0792 20 Pass FDD 2 W‐ 100% 1852.4 24 251.19 251.19 1.0000 2.0 0.0792 20 Pass CDMA HSDPA 100% 1907.6 24 251.19 251.19 1.0000 2.0 0.0792 20 Pass HSDPA 100% 1880.0 24 251.19 251.19 1.0000 2.0 0.0792 20 Pass * Conducted output power values bases on “Tune‐up” information provided by manufacturer.
